Will Smith and the internet were recently in a contest on giving recognition to the masses’ creativity. The actor and such took to Instagram to share some malleable ingenious remixes of some of his works with credit to the contributors such as Blaccmass, Andrea Botez, and Michael Christmas, naming in the announcement that full versions of tracks are now available. The post was filled with mostly goofy confusion and admiration for the beats that fans made and started taking in reactions by the droves; some were hilarious; some were hype, and some might’ve been the fortune of the next big collaboration.

Smith looks amused in the picture, trying to hide some laughter as he reads through tweets about remixes with bizarro but brilliant twists. Take for instance “Pretty Girls but the beat is NOKIA.” That’s exactly the kind of chaotic energy an Internet can muster, and Smith is here for it.

But the story is actually in the comments, where fans broke down hearing the Nokia beat remix. One user commented, “Nokia version just proves beat selection is crucial,” such a statement sparked a thread of agreement with people commenting like, “Facts,” and “Wish people took that part of music more serious.” Another one said, “That first one makes you realize how great that Nokia beat really is,” while others demanded, “The NOKIA and Miami versions need to be released.”

Then, the hidden but truthful Drake moment happened. Just daring enough, one commenter half-seriously says, “A Will Smith & Drake collaboration might be what the summer needs,” splitting the audience in two-laughter and cringe. Another chimed in with, “Well it’s Drake’s song 😂,” implying that no matter how much love an artist may get for a remix, the original will always have its ironic ghost haunting the background.

The funniest was when one fan wrote, “I’d be so salty if I was the original producer. The internet basically said ‘ANY beat but this one’😅😂,” to which came a flurry of laugh emojis and reluctant agrees, followed by, “Every remix is 🔥🤣.”

But amidst it all, these particular ones popped off: The Beastie Boys one was “going hard,” while another claimed that “MIB and ‘getting jiggy with it’ beats fit so well.” Pharrell was thrown down, with someone chiming, “All you need is Pharrell,” begging to be responded to with “Deadass.”

The most wholesome shot-theself moment was when a fan commented back after spotting himself in the post: “I’m slide 6! This is insane! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!” This kind of unabashed excitement is why artsy-type guys like Smith actually work with these fans. This is because sometimes, the creativity of the Internet deserves a standing ovation.

So what next? Given the comments, we may be sitting on the brink of Nokia-core resurrection, a surprise from Drake, or yet another batch of remixes as proof that the “right” beat could sell anything. Smith’s post was not just a victory for fan art; it was a cultural moment, comment by comment.
